Foreign Governments

There is no limit to the communications needs of a foreign government. New business investments has to be attracted. Compliance with international humanitarian standards must be highlighted. Policy decisions need to be justified. Economic growth initiatives must be marketed and sold to multiple audiences throughout the world.

Levick’s Foreign Governments team provides just such seamless strategic service to nations throughout the world. We understand the concerns of potential corporate investors: stability, safety, and long-term growth potential. It’s about a lot more than glossy ads in a business publication. It’s about inundating digital media with persuasive content. It’s about reaching corporate decision-makers with messages they will believe.

It’s also about NGOs and watchdog organizations that hold foreign governments accountable for their political and economic policies. When Levick’s Foreign Governments team partnered with Dubai, we effectively delivered the Emirate’s messages about human rights and rule of law. Many NGOs were convinced. So was the State Department.

In a shrinking world, foreign governments must play in the other guy’s ballpark and learn to speak his language as persuasively as possible. For growth-oriented countries, the time to learn is now.
